THE Kwara State House of Assembly and a group, Kwara Strategic Alliance (KSA) in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday differed on defection and alleged invasion of private residences of the Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy Ike Ekweremadu.

House seeks protection of democracy

The House called on Nigerians, civil society organisations and the international community to rise in unison for the protection of Nigeria's democracy.

This followed a motion of urgent public Importance, by the House Leader Hassan Oyeleke.

The motion was entitled "unsuccessful terrorising of the National Assembly by the nation's security agencies.

The Speaker, Dr. Ali Ahmad, while reading the resolutions of the House on the Motion, expressed displeasure that with the invasion, the nation's hard won democracy was being threatened.

Kwara youths blame PDP for undermining constitution

But KSA blamed the PDP national leadership for undermining the party's constitution in its bid to welcome defectors to the party.

The youths also berated PDP national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, for wooing all manners of politicians to the party without recourse to the Central Working Committee (CWC) in Kwara State.

Prince Secondus was in Ilorin on Wednesday to hold meeting with Saraki and some serving governors without the knowledge of the PDP Chair Iyiola Oyedepo.

Addressing reporters in Ilorin, the state capital, Coordinator of KSA Ibrahim Sheriff said: "Instead of Prince Uche Secondus-led administration of the party to bring back political morality and social sanity to the PDP to knock out its challenges, the Chairman is unfortunately wooing virtually all political figures in Nigeria with the highest corruption perception index."
